Happy Holi - it’s going off at Brickmakers Park. Pop on down and join in the fun for free. Running through until 6pm!
The calm before the storm. How lucky are we to have such a magnificent local pool?
The rain has done, the ground is dry and the sun has arrived and we’ve just kicked off. It is a tad windy though, so bring a jacket and head down to Warrawee Park for the annual Live at Warrawee.
What a cracking day to celebrate lunar new year.

We’re excited to announce the return of our annual Active Pride event for Midsumma Festival 2025!
It’s no longer part of the area I represent, but Notting Hill always holds a special place in my heart. It’s an area I’ve spent a lot of time focussing on in my time on Council.
I am a very lucky man 😍
36 years ago, 24 people made the ultimate sacrifice at Nakatomi. May their courage and resilience live on, even in the face of impossible odds.
A pleasure to join Neighbourhood Watch Monash Inc. to celebrate the exceptional service of a local legend, Senior Constable Sara Coe from Monash Police.
34% of all the poker machines in the ENTIRE WORLD are in NSW.
Carols by Candlelight - what a night!
Men are starting to have the conversation about what they can do to end the national crisis of gender-based violence.
The annual Westgate Street Christmas Party. 26 years and going strong.
Happy 11 years of marriage to this eternal spunk. Couldn’t have imagined a better journey, or a more amazing person to experience it with.
Did you know that NSW has 34% of the WORLD’s poker machines?
These were the BEST biscuits ever made; coffee scrolls.
We almost didn’t. Council planned to shut this famous local institution 20 years ago, but it was saved by local residents and ratepayers in a massive community campaign.
What are your favourite memories?

This year it’s the year of the one and only animal I genuinely fear - the disgusting, ugly slithering snake 🐍🤮

The Oakleigh Recreation Centre will be the home of the Active Pride Pool Party and we are inviting LGBTIQA+ people of all ages, Rainbow families AND ALLIES to come and experience our facilities in a friendly and inclusive environment to celebrate PRIDE!
When: Saturday, 1 February 2025
Time: 2pm-5pm
Where: Oakleigh Recreation Centre
Attendees can expect a silent disco, face painting & eco-glitter, inflatables, snow cones, dry activities & much more!
Today we visited the Community Laneways, an initiative from @nottinghillnh where locals have painted hundreds of paintings that adorn the walls of the laneway between Samada and Saniky Streets.
Well worth a visit. The new neighbourhood park is at the end of the laneway as an added bonus.
A belated Happy New Year to all. I’ve been away, but I am now back on deck and ready for a big year ahead, delivering on the commitments I made during the recent Council elections.
Yippee-ki-yay, heroes.

Sara does an extraordinary job working in Crime Prevention and community education, and is based right here in Oakleigh.
It’s been a privilege to work alongside her for the last six years - we’re extremely lucky to have her.
Yep, more than a third. In only one Australian State.
Let that sink in.

We need to make sure this conversation keeps going: by talking to our friends, recognising the warning signs of violence, challenging abusive behaviours, and listening to women and survivors of all genders without judgement or defensiveness.
Join the 16 Days of Activism and help build communities where women are safe and equal.
It all starts with respect.
This is what community is all about: local residents (young and old) coming together to enjoy each others company.
Always a pleasure to be invited along - a highlight of the year.
With the kids this time, back at the place where it all began, Mahjong in St Kilda. Food and service as terrific as it’s always been.
Or that last year there were a total of 1 MILLION gambling ads on free-to-air television alone?
Or that, on average, each adult loses $1,527 to gambling every year?
Gambling is a leading cause of suicide in young adults, a leading cause in domestic violence and a leading cause in metal health issues.
More than 70% of Australians support a total ban on gambling advertising.
Yet gambling companies are grooming young children without challenge with both the major federal parties having done nothing and committed to nothing.
Peta Murphy’s legacy is being trashed through lack of commitments to implementing the very recommendations the committee she lead made, with MPs of all sides on the committee unanimously agreeing with the recommendations.
The role of Governments is to lead, not to be lead by vested interests seeking to profit through the misery of the citizens they are meant to represent.
I’m extremely proud of Councils strong stand against gambling in Monash, and the raft of local changes we’ve made to stamp out advertising on our land and in our sporting clubs and local communities.

But Arnotts and the big guys squashed them.
